UFC Fight Night 107 draws announced 15,761 fans for gate north of $2 million in London

LONDON – Today’s UFC Fight Night 107 event drew an announced attendance of 15,761 and a live gate of $2,015,777.

UFC officials announced the tallies following the event, which MMAjunkie attended.

UFC Fight Night 107 took place at The O2 in London, and the entire card streamed on UFC Fight Pass.

In the main event, London’s own Jimi Manuwa (17-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) knocked out Corey Anderson (9-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) with one punch in their light heavyweight bout, then called for a title shot. Additionally, Gunnar Nelson (16-2-1 MMA, 7-2 UFC) submitted Alan Jouban (15-5 MMA, 6-3 UFC) in the second round of their co-main event.

But the fight that will be talked about for a while is Marlon Vera’s (9-3-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) head kick knockout of Brad Pickett (25-14 MMA, 5-9 UFC) with about a minute left in their fight. It was Pickett’s retirement bout, and he appeared to be winning after two rounds before he got caught, leaving his home fans stunned and disappointed.

UFC Fight Night 107 was the ninth UFC event in London and first since February 2016, when “UFC Fight Night 84: Silva vs. Bisping” took place at the same venue. That show drew an announced attendance of 16,734 and a live gate of $2 million.
